Deanna Pei-Ju Lo Fall 2012

Deanna Pei-Ju Lo Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. From Taipei, Taiwan, Deanna wanted to create “a modern Teddy Boy look” in her collection. She took inspiration from a borrowed-from-the-boys feel, but adding the femininity by using soft, luxurious metallic fabric. Black and navy color dominated Deanna’s collection creating a midnight sensation.

Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012


Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Originally from South Korea, Donghyun has a background in chemical engineering and pattern design. In his men’s collection, Donghyun took his audience off-guard by his bold vintage military uniforms inspired by the American West. His designs including tobacco oilcloth cotton shirt and olive wool gabardine/brown leather jacket made a dashing counterstatement to the belief that guys have to be metro to be fashionable.

Kate YK Lee Fall 2012



Kate YK Lee Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Coming from Seoul, South Korea, Kate took her inspiration from the sculptural elements of architecture. Her collection is a remarkable class between rounded silhouettes, offset by defined lines and sharp, angled seams. Using pale silver, navy, and black as her main colors, Kate depicted the urban femininity without the bright colors typically associated with it.

Joy Cioci Spring 2012

Joy Cioci’s Spring 2012 collection was a one very colorful dream. This year’s inspiration “a free-spirited woman in pursuit of love” bounced delightfully on svelte figures of models on stage. The soft, pastel colors were alluring calls from the sun-soaked beach of an island off the coast of Mediterranean. All of the pieces retained their luxuriousness, yet effortlessly weaved in fine touches such as V-neck frills and translucent shirt sleeves. No details were overlooked in this collection, including the whimsical, slightly messy hair-do and stunning latticework featured on nails. The collection was a celebration of being a free woman, not afraid to show off her femininity and bold enough to embark on a new journey to find her true love.

Brulee Trunk Show

Kristian Giambi’s BRULEE indulges its clients without much effort. The clever combo of comfort and style, this is the perfect invention for those who do not like to compromise. At the BRULEE Lingerie & Loungewear SS11 Trunk Show at Ajune Day Spa in NYC Upper East side, Giambi featured some of her newest designs that included velvety white bridal wear. One of the pieces that I especially liked was black silk lingerie outlined by thin white borders and highlighted with black Swarovski crystal. All of Giambi’s lingerie is handcrafted in New York City’s Garment District to support the nation’s garment industry. Sexy, simple, but elegant, BRULEE can transform you into the modern goddess you always wanted to be without the frills.
